"a portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013."

julian: away in florida this week.milla plum: away in florida this week.birdie: vegemite toast is her favorite.sailor: another furrowed brow from this small boy.

a long term photo series has been on my list of to-do's for some time now, but i couldn't bring myself to commit to a daily project in fear of failure. i decided to challenge myself this year, but i am starting small. i am participating in a simple 52 project of my children that jodi inspired me to take part in. much more realistic for me, and it serves a purpose that i will treasure always. even though i take many photographs of my kids, i don't always get around to capturing a photo of each of them, on their own, on a regular basis. this is a great way to document change and growth and will be fun to look back on when the year is done. a photo a week, times four. it's a lot of photographs when all is said and done. a little less than 208, only because julian and plum spend time away in florida a few times a year. i am confident that i can stick to it, every single week.

here are a few series from the past that i enjoyed from around the web: andrea did a gorgeous 365 photo project in back in 2008, that kind of set the tone for the rest of us. nicole did a polaroid project a few years back that was awesome, but i can no longer find a link to it. this 365 project is lovely. my husband started his own project a couple of years ago, but never completed it. and there's THIS, my all time favorite photo series that inspired me to create my own while i was pregnant with birdie.

I love that you’re doing this project as well, James! I’ve allowed myself the freedom to capture more than one child in each portrait, but you’ve inspired me to try a little harder to snap separate portraits where possible. :)

Can’t say i’m much of a commenter on your blog but i do try and pop by every now and again to gaze at your beautiful photographs. This is definately something i’ll be popping back for, it reminded me of this … http://pinterest.com/pin/35677022018350107/ a video by Frans Hofmeester who filmed his daughter every week for 12 years.

i’m doing this series as well! i love jodi’s blog and always looked forward to her 52 post every week. my little girl is due any day now so this weeks photo was my bump…hopefully next week i’ll be able to post a photo of her sweet face!
